How many people out here on Dish think that the Platinum package is a rip off,10.00 a month is too much.If we could get as many subscribers who have Platinum to Cancel the Platinum ad on ,maybe Dish will get the message to lower price or add the Channels to an existing package like if you subscribe to 250 with HD it should be included in price.Just curious if anyone agrees with this or am I way off base..
Dish Change Platinum !

I'm not as bothered by the fact that Universal and HDNet aren't in Gold as the fact that Fox and Viacom Aren't included in Platinum.
Just cancelled Platinum HD yesterday.
Saving $10 a month is helpful right now, plus the channels on the Platinum package are not worth it.

Its a Rip Off, But I'm not really bothered by it since the channels included in the pack, don't really appeal to me anyway. If it was $5 I might Subscribe to it.
We very rarely sell a new subscriber package with Platinum HD, I don't even have it at my own house anymore!
Im not even missing watching the channels

I really don't care about any sport besides baseball, so unless they get MLB Network I will not be getting Platinum HD.
i thought most people figured this out long ago, i cancelled platinum in favor of HBO for 10$...you get mor HD channels with more content that way.
Normal folks who check their bill and are aware of what they are doing probably wouldn't have it. But you'd be surprised to see those who have programming add-ons that they don't even remember or know the price. I doubt it happens much with Platinum HD, but if you've had a setup for years and years, you might not recall what you are getting/paying (especially if you have a bad memory and just pay the bill when it comes).
Are you sure Platinmum is actually part of AEP. Seems like you have to pay $10 for HD and another $10 for Platinum in addition to the AEP cost.
I have the center ice package and I get the NHL Network HD feed on two different channels. I would bet that if you have the NBA package you wold also get the NBA TV HD feed.
Not a bad idea, though it would be nice if they could add the the HD feeds to the sports pack, but then I would doubt it would be 5.99 then. I read that NBA TV worked out a deal with direct to be included in the non sports tier. Wonder if down the road Dish would follow?
